I have never seen the same doctor more than twice. I now had visits with Dr Somers and plan to keep seeing her.

10/29/2025

Dr Somers listened attentively and interacted in a very personalable manner. She was competent. She addressed the presenting problems clearly. Though there was too much to deal with in the allotted time, which was surpassed, I went away feeling understood and that I had found a provider with the usual requisite skills but also with unique ideas and solutions. I was impressed and happy to have found such a person

Dr. Arietti was very thorough and very informative on my issues that we needed to go over. I was very pleased at her advice and how she decided to move forward with my medical care. I feel that she listened to what I was saying and address things to best fit my needs. Dr Arietti is new to Athens Internal Medicine Associates. This was my first meeting with her after my Dr of 40 years has retired. I could not have asked for anyone better to help me with my medical needs. I’m very pleased with the care and direction that I have received from Dr. Arietti. I look forward to having her as my primary doctor moving forward.

10/02/2025

Best experience ever with a physician office and nurses

07/10/2025

IN addition to some general health and supplement ideas Dr. Somers noticed that I had some wax build up in my ears (a chronic problem for me) and offered, with the help of a Nurse, to clean it out. I certainly appreciated that.

A bit of a long wait in reception area but worth it because she was very thorough and not rushed when I did see her.

Todo Muy bien

Coming from a practice where I did not feel heard or cared about, Dr. Somers is a breath of fresh air. Dr. Somers looks you in the eye and talks to and listens to you! With my former provider, I felt as if I was there only for data input for her computer.

I have rescheduled with Dr. Somers in 6 months.
